[PATCH v2 2/2] PCI: altera: Fix resource leaks on probe failure

From: Mahesh Vaidya

Date: Thu Apr 30 2026 - 16:44:36 EST


The chained IRQ handler is installed during probe but is only removed
from the remove path. If pci_host_probe() fails, the handler and INTx IRQ
domain remain installed even though the devm-managed host bridge storage
containing struct altera_pcie will be released, leaving the handler with
a stale data pointer.

Interrupts are also enabled before pci_host_probe() is called. If probe
fails after that point, the controller interrupt source should be disabled
before the chained handler and INTx domain are removed.

Install the chained handler only after the INTx domain has been created.
Disable controller interrupts during IRQ teardown, and tear the IRQ setup
down if pci_host_probe() fails.

Fixes: c63aed7334c2 ("PCI: altera: Use pci_host_probe() to register host")
